So... next step. Yesterday I received first part of pieces made by "my" turner. They are made of alu and polyamide and are waiting for silicone to make molds.
Some news in corpus of jp. Alu tubes are put on corpus for try.

Wow. I like the precision and creativity of your build. Will you use the shell for an actual jetpack and backfill with foam or something for strength? Or are you just creating a sculpt/buck for casting?

I made it for casting, but now I painted it for use on CEII in Essen and Starforce in Torun. After that I'll finish corpus of JP for making molds. Molds for all other parts I made till now. Prototype was made by me of 2mm polistyrene and 10mm sintra (only for reinforcement of edges (inside).

Now my aerograph is out of order, so shading I made using spray paint. It looks not enough good. I know it.
When I'll do mold of jetpack's corpus and cast it, I want to paint it properly
Also some details must be made, e.g. head of beacon light must have holes, etc.
